Unlike bitcoin gold is constantly being mined and turned into jewelry so there is always a demand so the gold is going to stay on the market as long as human lives . sure the bitcoin has its own value and has seen a big pick in the price in the last couple of years compared to gold but you can't compare tow different things it is like comparing food and drink you need them both, plus the bitcoin may end at one point considering how many governments are making it illegal and considering how hard it is to mine it .

They are different in purpose if you are a virtual guy then you invest on Bitcoin as you can do so much about it because you know where to use it like online/magazine subscriptions or explicit things. About Gold you have to exchange it to fiat and risking your personal information about it the opposite when you use bitcoin.

of course bitcoin is better for now looking at the high price. so people are most interested in something that makes them get higher profit. cmiiw. Does this make Bitcoin a better long term investment than gold? probably because the unstable price makes it special, and when the price goes up, we cannot predict how high it will be

I would say Bitcoin is a better investment than gold. The problem with gold is that it works only as a way of storing value. In the case of Bitcoin, in addition to being a safe and efficient way to store value, it is also an efficient way of to send and receive money over the internet. Moreover, all this occurs in a decentralized manner.

Nobody can tell that which is better because Gold outlast for a century that it is always increasing value and it is seen by the naked eye while Bitcoin itself is a new player in the game of virtual world. Time is more reliable for me, but Bitcoin really shows the fluctuation that no currency has ever did.

Well, it is very relative to think that a greater performance is necessarily a better advantage, because most bitcoiners need to be aware that the price of the bitcoin needs a more consistent stability and less volatility to make the Btc a reliable currency.
I think many companies and investors will prefer to stay aside from this ecosystem while these large price variations persist.

Well, no. If bitcoin is a stable currency relative to the USD then that means bitcoin is essentially no different in value to the USD... And USD is a centralised currency that can be manipulated. Bitcoin should be a store of value instead of store of USD value.

I dont think bitcoin can be good for long term investment. It can drasticaly drops the value when big whales dump their holdings. Gold is more stable than bitcoin. So if you want growing money safely. Then gold is good for you. If you want earn more, then bitcoin is good for you. Bitcoin can really make you more profit. But for stability, gold is better. It is tested for many centuries.

every investment there are advantages and disadvantages. bitcoin is investing for the short term. while gold is a safe investment that requires a fairly long period of time. we should be able to choose which ones fit with expertise and our ability to invest.

i think its not to compare bitcoin with gold because if we see now, bitcoin is not use by the most people, but gold, everybody know as a good investment and the price is stable for short, middle, and long term. the other reason is gold have physical form depend of bitcoin. but i agree that bitcoin is better than gold for future because the blockchain technology is design to make the transaction more simple and more low fee to do. but unfortunately, the most people is not yet to know about bitcoin and government itself is not ready to make a good statement about bitcoin so we should wait for some other time for this.

Bitcoin has been beating gold by a big margin so far this year. The digital currency has more than doubled in value, while the yellow metal has gained 8.73 percent; and both assets outperformed the S&P 500 and the twenty-year US Treasury bonds. Does this make Bitcoin a better long term investment than gold? It’s hard to say, as past performance isn’t a guarantee for future performance, as the old adage goes in Wall Street. Besides, Bitcoin has been around for a short period of time. Still Bitcoins have two advantages over gold. First, they can be used as a convenient medium of payments, though for a limited number of transactions, a function gold is missing. Second, the Bitcoin supply is expected to be limited to 21 million. The supply of gold, on the other hand, is expected to increase anytime its price rises, as it provides an incentive for gold miners to mine for gold. To be fair, gold has its own advantages, too. It can be used as an outright gift, to make jewelry, and in manufacturing of certain products. That’s why investors shouldn’t rush to substitute the yellow metal for the digital currency in their portfolio. ~~ Original Story: http://www.forbes.com/sites/panosmourdoukoutas/2016/12/09/is-bitcoin-better-than-gold/#42ccc567c143For speculators and traders who want fast profits bitcoin is better than gold. For long term investors,i`m not sure,maybe gold is the better option.

Great article. But it think it's not proper to compare the performance of these securities. They are not all similarly situated. Gold has been in the financial industry and the world for an extremely long time. Gold has been the main medium of exchange for thousands of years and somehow until now. Unlike bitcoin, where it has just started and not yet even a decade has passed since it's use. Gold in the 1970's had a similar increase in price. It is not a 100% per year but it was 43.14% in 1972, 66.79% in 1973, and 72.59% in 1974. And it also hit a 120.57% more than the current rise of bitcoin.
I guess, maybe, Bitcoin will also stabilize like gold in the future where it would be more trusted and adopted greatly by the world. We haven't seen the last of the 100% increases in bitcoin. We might even see a 1,000%. Who knows.

Consider about the factor was adjusting with both. Can we use bitcoin in World of War? The both have different advantages.

I agree to you, bitcoin can be invested of for a long term though but you must face the risk if something happens. There is no 100% investment I guess, because if it is 100% no one will be needing a investment instead they will borrow from banks.

In my opinion we can't really compare these 2 assets as bitcoin is digital while gold is physical. Gold is the safer choice if you wanna preserve your wealth for long term,but with bitcoin you can profit on short time as it is very volatile,but also on long time as if bitcoin will be used more widely we could see a huge increase in price overtime. Anyway I recommend investing in both of them as they offer you different advantages.

It's clear now that bitcoin has surpassed gold to become the ultimate safe haven on earth, but there are still tons of gold bugs that constantly say bitcoin is a scam. Of course they are old people that don't even understand bitcoin.
I think as the old generations die, the new generations will understand that bitcoin is objectively superior to gold and move all their wealth there.
